No backpacks are allowed. This is strictly enforced and there are no storage facilities. If you must bring a bag you need a plan on where to store it. I know people who have left bags in chip vans and hidden in hedges.

Probably for the best as some NI fans in Austria stole our backpack from the stadium.

The area around the stadium is pretty safe. It is an upmarket area of Dublin although it may not look like it from the away end.

It is mainly street parking but read the signs carefully re parking. You will probably have to pay until 7pm but some streets make you pay until midnight.

Bath Avenue is very convenient for the away end. It is a bit more downmarket than the other side of the stadium but still pretty safe.

There will be very heavy traffic after the game all the way back to the Port Tunnel.

This may sound absolutely daft and is considerably longer but you may want to look at heading south of the stadium (out the N11 or parallel Merrion Road) joining the M50 at junction 14. This is my route home and I rarely encounter traffic. There is normally parking on Anglesea Road or the vicinity of the RDS or Clyde Road near the American embassy. I'd only recommend parking there if heading south to the M50.

That's a very strange thing to do after leaving your bag in a chip van.

What’s the story for those wanting to bring a flag in their backpack, are they also prohibited for such ?
